As % of house edge. All are estimates. Small rolls Before: MP : Max 50%. Average 49% (estimate) Dev : Max 50%. Average 49% (estimate) Investor : 2% After: MP : 5%. Dev : max 50%. Investor : 45%. Big rolls Before: MP : 1% Dev : 1% Investor : 98% After: MP : 5% Dev : Max 50% Investor : Min 45%. Medium rolls Something in between. As per my understanding. thanks a lot for trying to shed some light but it doesn' look right to me because the new offer should not have any differences anymore for small, medium and big rolls but sure thing that I could be wrong lets see if we get an explanation that will be understood and satisfy all

I think something's off with it for that reason.

Not really. Well based on the stats it is I guess.
However officially MP's share was much bigger. Officially the share between app owners and MP was 50/50. Therefor officially the app devs should get much less than 61%. So the app owners get a worse deal based on the stats, but a better deal based on the official MP "rules".
AFAIK, MP gave extra commission to app owners sometimes. And currently MP gives also a better deal to investors (commission-free.) This is why the stats are not really correct.
So basically in the end, I think these new rules are actually better for both the app owners and the investors. And mostly bad for MP.
even more confusing now because now I understand that even it is worse for app owners it is better for app owners I would like to ask some of the guys who understood the announcement Ryan gave to be so kind and explain it in ELI5 = an example with numbers to really see all the pro and cons for the app owner Before with the official old rules app owners should get less than 50% (a bit below 40% to my estimation.) However, because Ryan is a nice guy, he gave app owners extra commission sometimes, see for example this post. So even though app owners should have gotten 35-40%, the actually received commission was 61% based on the stats. This is only because some of the commission, that should go to MP, went to the app owners instead. So: new rules are better for app owners compared to the old rules. But it seems worse based on stats, because MP gave extra commission to the app owners sometimes. Is it more clear now?

It is still applicable, but not to that extent. Both extremes kind of reduced, that is all. It is still around the same, but with significant changes. So: new rules are better for app owners compared to the old rules. But it seems worse based on stats, because MP gave extra commission to the app owners sometimes.
Correct.

my understanding of Ryan's announcement is and please correct me if I am wrong 1x Kelly is 1% of Bank Roll half Kelly = 0.5% of Bank Roll
will app owner now get 50% of HE of each 1x Kelly bet of Bank Roll? if yes I ask why Ryan tell us we recommend apps limit bets to a half kelly for predictable earnings
if my app has always a max of 1x Kelly and I get 50% of HE why should I reduce the max to half Kelly?
as you can see I am still confused and thank all of for your patience to deliver an explanation that all of us will understand (even me) When the bets get high enough, investors need an appropriate return for the risk they are taking. So, when it crosses the limit, but it does not meet the criterion, the commission is cut to compensate to make it meet the kelly criterion. It simply means, you get more % on big bets, but if the bet is big enough and since the investor is taking a higher risk, it will go lower. But I think, it is still higher than what devs used to get in the previous method. Predictable earnings means flat 50% off edge. For huge bets (a couple of bitcoins), you used to get around 1% before, but I think it should be much higher now. Based on my understanding of things. Thanks ndnhc

Thanks ndnhc thanks again but Ryan mentioned 2 things 1x Kelly and half Kelly actually he added another option that I also did not understand If apps place a bet that would put investors (after giving the commissions) at greater than 1x kelly risk the investors will give apps a reduced commission to limit themselves to a kellyanyone mind to explain this in ELI5 thanks

For the bigger picture, just imagine that the commission should have been divided by 50/50 between app and MP with the old rules. This should make you realize already that before you should have gotten less than 50% since investors obviously also get a share. Right? That's all you need to know, to understand why this is a better deal for app owners. Now the "max profit" thing is something else. Let's say app's HE to the players is 1.3% and BR is 450. This means max profit on a bet is: 450*1*0.013 = 5.85 BTC based on 1x kelly. Right? Some examples how much percentage of the HE everyone gets with several bets: Bet | App | Investors | MoneyPot | BTC5.25 | 0% | 90% | 10% | BTC4.4 | 25% | 67.5% | 7.5% | BTC3.1 | 47% | 47.7% | 5.3% | BTC2.925 | 50% | 45% | 5% | BTC1.5 | 50% | 45% | 5% | BTC0.1 | 50% | 45% | 5% |
Basically, the higher the bet, the more money goes to investors because they can only risk their money based on 1x kelly. This also happened with the old rules, see this older post. If you, as an app owner, want a 50% of HE guaranteed profit always, you can limit your max bet to 2.925 as shown in this example (if BR is 450 and player HE is 1.3%.) This is based on half kelly: 450*0.5*0.013 = 2.925 So basically, if you always want 50% of HE, you could do: 0.5*bankroll*player_HE = max profit of bet. Ps, @Ryan, correct me if I have something wrong And I am not sure how the 10% of MP commission relates to the 1x kelly thing. Most dice-invest sites also don't really have 1x kelly as 1x kelly because of the commission, but idk.

Thanks NLNico for taking the time to explain it. I'll try put it in different words for JackpotRacer. But let me prefix it with by saying for his case the new scheme is strictly better. There are no circumstances when he'll get paid less than before.
Bets can be put in three categories:
* Less than 0.5x kelly bets
In the binary-bet case (e.g. dice), this is when someone makes a bet trying to win less than half of the house edge of the bankroll. So with a 3% house edge, if the player is trying to win less than 1.5% of the bankroll.
* 0.5x to 1x kelly bets
In the binary-bet case (e.g. dice), this is when someone makes a bet trying to win between 0.5 and 1 of the house edge of the bankroll. So with a 3% house edge, if the player is trying to win between 1.5% and 3% of the bankroll.
* Greater than 1x kelly bets
In the binary-bet case (e.g. dice), this is when someone makes a bet trying to win between >1 of the bankroll. So with a 3% house edge, if the player is trying to win between >3% of the bankroll.
The commissions for placing each type of these bets vary: * Less than 0.5x kelly bets
Apps get 50% of the house edge on every bet (regardless of outcome). This is paid by investors.
* 0.5 to 1x kelly bets
Apps get between 50% of the house edge, and 0% of the house edge. This is paid by investors in such a way that keeps them kelly-complaint. By default you can make this type of bet, but it has been requested to have an option in the admin panel to block them. As long as you don't offer a rakeback on these type of bets, accepting them is perfectly safe, though.
* >1 x kelly bets
Apps PAY investors to accept the bet. (Don't worry, you can't accidentally do this type of bet, it can only be done via a confidential app using an explicitly subsidy argument).
--
We think in general apps should restrict themselves to <= 0.5x kelly bets, where their earnings are very predictable: 50% of the house edge. For promotional purposes they might want to use the other sort of bets, or to satisfy whales, or sell magical bet tokens etc.
While at a glance the investor:app profit split might look worse for app developers, to be clear MoneyPot was taking a 50% profit split on app developers earnings, now it takes 0%! All commissions will be taken from investor profits instead.
This makes it strictly better for app developers, although the story for investors is a bit mixed. Most bets investors will now make more, but there are circumstances when they may make less.

thank you for trying to explain especially for me but I can assure you that most (if not all) of the app owners didn't understand the big announcement. as you already know that I like it kiss and eli5 I will try and go on asking this way till I understand this special announcement. please bear with me and thank you in advance for the patience you need to sacrifice what changed now for the app owners that was different before? and please I need the answer for app owner and not for MP or investors. so lets do it step by step my app has 1% HE like most of the app owners on MP. so lets take 1% and not 3% HE as an example before we had 0% when a whale came to our app and wagered max and imo the max bet for 0% income for the app owner was 1x Kelly of the BR (please correct me if I am wrong) what changed now in advantage for the app owner? how much will I get now instead of the 0% in case of a 1x Kelly max bet? lets see if we can make this point understandable to all the app owners then I will get to next question if needed thanks

Just make your max bet 0.5% of the bankroll if you want 50% HE in all cases. Done.

So from the investors' point of view, before the 10% commissions on profit, the investors will get 50% of the house edge for all bets with <0.5x Kelly, and for bets with >0.5x Kelly, investors' share on the house edge is calculated exactly according to Kelly formula (80% for 0.8x Kelly, 120% for 1.2x Kelly with 20% compensation from app owner), am I right?

Just read all 3% as 1%, and all 1.5% as 0.5%. really? how about to take 1% and translate those numbers to 1%? please try it and lets see with what you will come up? Just make your max bet 0.5% of the bankroll if you want 50% HE in all cases. Done. ok but this we had before and my question was what is the big change for the app owner after the announcement? oh sorry I forgot you are not an app owner (my bad) and therefore can't feel any advantage or disadvantage in your pocket as an app owner thanks for trying

once I received a formula to be sure that I (app owner) always will get about 0.47% = very near to 0.50% of the HE
the formula was 0.06% of the bank roll
bankroll today about 450 and 0.06% of 450 = 0.27
to get the almost 0.50% (0.47%) of the HE my max win allowance for the player should be 0.27 (IMO an app with this tiny max win allowance can forget all whales and even medium whales)
what would be the formula now after the big announcement? anyone can help out with the right multiplier so I (app owner) will have the 0.50% of the HE
thanks

0.06% => 0.5% So you get exactly 50% (nothing less) with 2.25 BTC max bet (0.5% of 450 BTC) Edit: For 1% house edge.

thank you for trying to explain especially for me but I can assure you that most (if not all) of the app owners didn't understand the big announcement.
I'm not quite sure this is true, from app developers perspective the new scheme is both simpler and more profitable. as you already know that I like it kiss and eli5 I will try and go on asking this way till I understand this special announcement. please bear with me and thank you in advance for the patience you need to sacrifice ELI5: You get 50% of the house edge of all bets (the only exception to this is when this would be too risky for investors otherwise). what changed now for the app owners that was different before? and please I need the answer for app owner and not for MP or investors.
ELI5: You get paid more than last time my app has 1% HE like most of the app owners on MP. so lets take 1% and not 3% HE as an example
before we had 0% when a whale came to our app and wagered max and imo the max bet for 0% income for the app owner was 1x Kelly of the BR (please correct me if I am wrong)
Set the max-profit to 0.5% of the bankroll, and you'll be guaranteed half the house edge (more than before).

So from the investors' point of view, before the 10% commissions on profit, the investors will get 50% of the house edge for all bets with <0.5x Kelly, and for bets with >0.5x Kelly, investors' share on the house edge is calculated exactly according to Kelly formula (80% for 0.8x Kelly, 120% for 1.2x Kelly with 20% compensation from app owner), am I right?
Yup! It's a great way to think about it. After I properly wake up, I'll check if that maths works though. I believe it's going to result in a slight underestimation of investor profits though, as my intuition tells me that if investors gave 20% of the house edge, on a 0.8x kelly bet it would subject them to slightly more than 1x kelly of risk (which the MP system goes to great pains to avoid ever happening). But that formula you gave should be either very close or accurate.
